Marie Curie

By: Evelyn Chao

Marie Curie was born in Poland and moved to France and was born on Nov 7 1867.  She is the youngest in her family.  Marie had 3 sisters and 1 brother and they are all bigger than her.  As Marie Curie grew older, she practiced studying science until she became a scientist.In 1906 Marie husband died in 1911 Marie continued to research more in and win the nobel prize for chemistry.  She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize.  Marie discovered two more elements she name the first one polonium and name the second one radium.  They found that radium can be used to fight cancer.  Marie went to the university of Paris after having two kids.  When she was older she received.  Two Nobel Prizes and So she was the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes. I like Marie Curie because she is like the first woman that proof women can be scientist too. And like what she discovered because what she discovered can fight cancer!!!!!!!!!!!
